Daytime Squad & Soap Squad: New Companions for TV Squad?
Mike Vicic - February 18, 2009
If you're a regular reader of TV Squad, then you know that the site focuses on primetime TV. Sure, you can periodically read about daytime television when there is a special event, like the first daytime lesbian wedding on All My Children, but those times are pretty rare.
Daytime TV fans rejoice! It looks like AOL Television is going to fix that problem.
On February 12, 2009 AOL filed documents to protect 'Daytime Squad' and 'Soap Squad' for "websites and blogs in the field of television." The names make sense since TV Squad is part of the AOL Television empire. It's also a pretty logical move since the two new sites fill niches that AOL isn't currently serving.
But this isn't a recent idea for AOL. Way back on December 1, 2008 AOL registered the domain names daytimesquad.com and soapsquad.com. Don't bother going to those sites quite yet since you'll simply get redirected to AOL's main page.
I've searched high and low, but I couldn't find any additional information about either new Squad. AOL Television and TV Squad did not respond to my requests for additional information.
